Just a Quick One

Lisa had a quick check around the house. She checked again that the back door was securely locked, Well it just wouldn’t do would it, if Liz from next door decided on the spur of the moment to come in for coffee?   She would be horrified if she discovered what Lisa intended to get up to this afternoon. Liz was a super friend but not very broadminded. She had been married for twenty years and sex to her, if it happened at all, was between married couples only, in their bedroom, behind firmly closed doors. Never during the day and definitely with the lights out.

Lisa debated whether or not, she should actually pull the curtains in the lounge.   She decided that it might be a very good idea. It was possible that she and Darren might not make it to the bedroom. They hadn’t got any further than the hallway that last wonderful time.   She certainly didn’t need that nosy Mrs Peters across the road suspecting something was up.   Lisa laughed to herself at her choice of words, she certainly hoped something would be up.

If she did the full romantic bit and got out the candles and oil burners, it would look too premeditated and this afternoon needed to be spontaneous and sexy.   She wanted to let Darren think it was all his idea. He could do the caveman bit and carry her off to his cave. Lisa tingled at the very thought. This was the first opportunity she and Darren had found to be alone for ages. Things kept getting in the way of planned encounters. They wouldn’t even have much time today . The kids would be home within the hour. They had to make it quick but special. Who knew when their next chance might be?

Lisa still found it hard to believe that Darren fancied her so much. She was a married woman with two kids and the stretch marks to prove it. She was slightly overweight although she tried hard to keep herself smart and attractive, but whenever they managed to get together, Darren couldn’t keep his hands off her. He would touch her gently and tell her she was beautiful. Lisa needed the excitement. Life was pretty hum drum. Bills to pay, kids to get to school and meals to prepare. The pleasure Darren gave her in these moments added spice to her life and no way was she going to stop their little secret rendezvous.

Checking her watch, Lisa saw that it was nearly time for Darren to call. The tingle in her body, began to get out of control. She could still remember their last time. Darren’s hunky body heavy on hers. His breath warm on her neck. The overwhelming excitement that left them trembling and weak. A car came up the driveway. Lisa felt passion surging through her body. She opened the door and Darren swept her up into his strong arms.

“Lock the door” she urged, still fearful of discovery. It was after all, a dangerous game they played.   Passion overwhelmed them immediately. They only just made it to the lounge. Darren threw cushions on the floor and Lisa felt a quick flash of relief that she had pulled the curtains.   Steamy scenes like these would certainly do none of her elderly neighbour’s hearts any good. Darren undressed her very quickly. His fingers were skilful and practised. His mouth hot on hers, made her nerves jangle with want.

“Now Darren, now”.

They lay together afterwards. His arms around her. Content in the after-math of love, they said very little. There was no need for words. The act had said it all and more.

Stretching lazily, Darren got up on one elbow. “If we carry on like this, we are going to get caught you know”. Lisa knew he was right. The children were due home any minute. If Sam and Trina caught them like this, it would only lead to awkward questions. Lisa did not feel that the time was right to explain what she and Darren had been up to. She might have to one day but not yet.

“You are right Darren, it is time we got dressed, but it has been so wonderful, I want to do it all over again”. Darren grinned wickedly at her. “You sexy Madam, come here”. He grabbed at her and they fell back on the cushions in a naked, sexy tangle of arms and legs. Giggling helplessly, they didn’t hear the doorbell at first.

“ Oh no, it must be the kids” Lisa pushed Darren off. All thoughts of passion gone from her head she shoved him towards the stairs. “Here, take your clothes upstairs and get dressed. I will think of some sort of excuse when you come down. Go on hurry up”. She all but threw his clothes after him. Quickly pulling on her jeans and jumper, Lisa tried hard to make herself presentable. It was all her fault, she knew. The excitement of the moment had made her lose track of time. She smoothed her tangled hair down with her hands as best she could and opened the front door. The two kids rushed in like mini- tornadoes.

“I’m starving Mum”. Always their first words bless them. She shooed them into the kitchen with the promise of fresh baked muffins. Darren crept quietly down the stairs. He was due back at work for a late meeting. The afternoon had been a nice distraction but passion spent, all he could think about, was the notes he had prepared. He was almost safely at the front door when Trina came out of the kitchen. Damm, he had nearly made it without detection.

Trina saw him standing there and threw herself at his legs. “Daddy, Daddy, why are you home so early today?”
